Staff Teams Classic Needs
 

Most of you know Classic has a relatively small number of staff compared to other Graal games. For example, I heard there are 12 Era developers, and only 4 classic developers.

So I propose more staff teams should be added to focus other staff members attention on their hired purpose. I suggest:

• Spar Moderators - GPs of the Battle Arena
• Fort Moderators - GPs monitoring all forts
• Upload Team - When online, they would be able to view uploads that need reviewing.
• FAQ Team - Stops needless spam to those who don't have time to deal with it.
• Events Team - A moderators job to host events, not just when they have 5mins of spare time, like we have now.

These positions would barely need any training - excluding events team - spar and tower moderators is fairly obvious what you'd be looking for; switching, and cheating to gain unfair advantages. Upload team just needs to abide by the Uploading rules and guidelines. Lastly, FAQ Team is just an official bracket of helpful players.

Are there any other teams that would benefit classic?

all these "staff positions" seem rather pointless, classic seems to be doing just fine as it has been for years

Era only has one scripter.

I agree with the events team , that way more event can be hosted ( personally I should apply for this position ).

I also agree that we should get spar moderators / tower moderators , however I think this should be one position as a whole and not 2 different roles , the spar arena Is not too big therefore moderating it should not be a hard job.

On the other hand , I think that spar moderators could abuse their powers and ban people with delay , which is not the players fault. This could get many players banned for no reason so the people hired for this reason should be very cautious about what they do.

The spar moderators would just be there for clear hacking purposes, and general hindrance of a positive community.

that would just create an unbalanced hiearchy amongst staff members.. who in the world would solely dedicate their time to answering/receiving all spam messages? like kenovo said, the game is doing fine with or without said staff positions.

hacking & boosting is an issue, I agree. however, the only thing hindering 'a positive spar community' are the salty sparrers which consists of almost the entire sparring community

We have more :0

I would be more than happy to furfill this position.
Phew, that guy had me worried.

Yeah dan, but his always busy irl,

Dan is not our only scripter. Thing is, you really need to go into more depth...are you talking about like, a hardcore scripter or just someone who knows how to script items and do easy to moderate NPC scripting in different classes and on the client.

Someone with the same scripting skills as alpho and snk

We have more then Dan and Snk then.

Thougt Reno and vendhin. Stated that snk is the only scripter that could manage countryside etc..

People like Layerd, iMask and Meph all have fairly good scripting skills too. Layerd is also working on CS :0 Anyway, why ramble on about Era in the Classic section of the forums :p

feel sorry for the poor guy that has to fill in the role of spar moderator

I dont think anyone will apply
80% of people who ramble on about spar not being good anymore dont spar anymore.

Events team FTW

I mean, all of these roles would be nice for sure, in a perfect world.

But

The complaints will still rise.

"More events are lagging the server whaaaaa!"
"I got banned for hacking it's just new cpu whaaa!"
"Spar/fort moderators are biased whaaaa!"

A look into the future.

Being a spar moderator wouldn't be any trouble. You could spar whilst moderating, see if the person you're fighting is a hacker.

i feel bad for whoever gets stuck with this job rip

Heres and idea. These moderators wouldn't have the ability to ban people. They would have to provide their evidence to an actual gp to make a ban possible.

We need aewsom admin who dance n play with us XD

People saying, "we need this! we need that!"

but

are you offering to do those jobs yourselves?

Would you be willing to go through countless files of random crap people upload, and have to tell jimmy that he can't upload his goku head and his saiyan armor due to copyright infringement. Then have a player crying to you about how sally stole her custom head, even though it's just a re-color of a default head with the name sally on the back.

Would you be willing to look at all the "PC! stfu nub! lag! lagger! delay! easily! speed hacker!" comments people will be spitting at each other in the spar rooms. A player will be arguing with you that their delay is because they are living in a foreign country, even though a few hours ago they were fine. All of a sudden they lag more and it's because they just took a plane to another country. A player will be slightly faster, but not enough to be noticed by the general population that the only way to prove it is to have a frame by frame video, same speed of them and a different player doing the same movements. Otherwise, you can't prove anything. "It's my cpu! It's my gpu! I over-clocked Graal! I have my priority on High!"

Would you be willing to argue with someone who is lag blocking, and they say, "It's not my fault my signal suddenly dropped. No I'm not using a lag switch, or disconnecting my ethernet." A player arguing with you that they don't deserve to be banned, because not everyone has american wifi.

Would you be willing to go through all the pms of players asking you to constantly host events, specific ones that they probably have a higher chance to win, and a hat that they want which has not been in an event for years. Even though you are tired, they won't care. They still want to play events, "I'm here 24/7, so events all day bro."

Would you be willing to have to answer all the "Can I ask you a question?" pms.

I'm pretty sure that anybody would rather jump off a cliff than continue that after the first day.

#Dance Party Classic Staff

If you are sparring someone who is hacking, you can just report them and a GP will deal with it.

*At 0.5*, "If you beat me, I'm gonna ban you!"

I would literally rather have Satan roll me in batter and deep fry me for hours on end then have to listen to hundreds of Graalians complain about supposed "hacking" problems and hear them whine about the fact that GP's don't "hold enough events" and don't "bring out new things" often enough.

I would rather swim in a volcano than have to read through thousands of spam messages from angry 12 year olds whining about the fact that they don't have enough gralats and someone bet them at spar.

If you have the mental capability to be able to deal with that, I respect you highly.

IKR these noobs think everything is so easy. Next thing you know they will start asking for:

1. Guild fort tournaments
2. Weather effects + bosses
3. PC hotkeys
4. tier system for sparring
5. token shop/ep shop

The nerves of some people.





For the rest of you I suggest you go honor our beloved admins.

Hahaahahahahahahahahahahahahaah

All these jobs should be dealt with by a single GP anyway. Spar moderators and Fort moderators seem rather pointless - in fact all of them do.

I think the premise of it was just that it seems hard for a GP to cover all these areas where things happen somewhat frequently that affect the game. It's still great that they're catching people say, hacking or glitching to an offmap area, but they aren't really affecting the game too much. Take it to the Arena or a tower and then it starts to affect other players, which is why I think the OP wants dedicated GPs for this.

I still stand by the assertion that it'd be nice to have but more complaints would arise as a result and that it isn't 100% necessary. The change of more competent GPs would be far better.

Oh ok

I was talking about positions not ideas...

We need people to do these things, but do a lot of people actually want to spend more time doing those things rather than playing the game? No. Maybe for the spotlight at first, but after that it's boring and repetitive.

We don't even have a proper FAQ team. There should be 'Help' button in the menu with a list of admins that will actually reply.
